ISE® West Project Award Winner 2013

Deploy an encryption solution to all endpoint devices including laptops, desktops and tablets, to protect against the loss of confidential information in the event of a lost or stolen device. Phase II of the project also enabled encryption on the USB ports of these devices. Any data copied off a device onto a USB or external media drive would require encryption. Provide a FIPS 140-2 certified centrally managed encryption solution that would prevent reportable breaches of PHI and regulated data.
